Finally!!

after writing seeminlgy endless entries about jodie's great performances & PBs, i finally got to notch one up myself!...after coming within 4 seconds a couple of weeks ago, today i managed to knock 18 seconds off to record a Customs PB of 22:14!

not as many runners today and the majority seemed to be starting behind me (!)...richard m started 15 seconds in front of me and it took until the 2k to pass him...at the turn my time was 11:06, my fastest ever to that point, so it was just a case of maintaining the pace if i could...didn't get passed (geoff munro) until regatta point...caught jodie on the little hill (she had been hammered by the handicapper to the turn of 45secs - about time i say!)...really put in a good effort after rounding the BBQ shelter and pushed even harder once demetrios passed me (i think he did another PB), i nearly caught him on the line (sorry guys)...jodie ran her second best time (29:07) to maintain her good form over the past month...

the stats:
start temp/humidity: 20.4/36%
start time: 12:29pm
total distance: 4.95
total time: 22:14

i'm taking jodie & suze to the airport on sunday as they are going to sydney to see "The Amazing Human Body"...i think jodie may be going to fit in some retail therapy at some factory outlets as well...
